Oh dear, startled a homeless man in my elevator on the way out for groceries. I think this happened earlier in the week too, I passed two police officers in my buildings lobby at around 715am earlier this week. Plus a month or two ago I came across a clearly drug affected man lying in the elevator in the morning... Our building needs a swipe card to get into after hours so idk how it's happening. We're not in a dodgy location either.
This morning the man said "sorry, I do apologise", and scuttled out of the elevator with a plastic bag with items in it, but that was on my 10th floor... I waited at the tram stop for my tram in view of the building for the next 5 mins and didn't see him exit. I wonder if he'll be there when I get back.
Edit: I'm back and didn't see him
Ah, you’re having my usual experience
